Oh no, this is bad. This is so bad! Chan has already won the SP. He is basically skating last, and the other strong non-Quad SPs directly before him with Kozuka and Abbott. And here I was hoping that Kozuka could really challenge with a brilliant SP, similar to the one at the GPF.

My guess is that after the short it will look like this
1. Chan 92,0 points (clean)
2. Kozuka 84,5 points (crystal clean)
3. Abbott 84 points
4. Lysacek 83,5 points
5. Oda 81,0 points (clean, but first of all the Top guys)
6. Joubert 78,5 points (doubling the Triple of the 4-3, double-footing the Lutz)
7. Contesti 78,0 points (clean, but way too early in the competition)
8. Mroz 77,0 points (clean but blah)
9. Verner 76,0 points (only 3-3, popping the Axel - saved by outrageous PCS)
10. KVDP 74,0 points (clean, but well - he is KVDP - this would be close to a personal best I think)

I swear if Chan scores almost 10 points above a clean Abbott or Kozuka, I'll probably scream and not in a good way.

I will scream if the judges make any one skater/team in any discipline out of reach from the SP points total. A skater/team shouldn't be able to win a championship only on the strength of one program. :banging:

If he skates clean, I really hopes that he gets this score, because I am so annoyed with these mean speculations. It is so over the top.
Come on Chan, kick some a***s!

Exactly! Who know how the judges will judge? It is not excluded that the competition will be judged correctly and no one will be overscored.
